Understanding Dupuytren’s Contracture – Causes and Treatment

Struggling to straighten your fingers? Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition where the connective tissue in the palm thickens and tightens, pulling one or more fingers into a bent position.

Common signs:

  • Thickened lumps or cords in the palm
  • Gradual bending of one or more fingers
  • Difficulty placing your hand flat on a table
  • Usually affects the ring and little fingers

What causes it?

  • More common in people over 50
  • May run in families
  • Higher risk if you have diabetes, smoke, or drink alcohol
